Czechia carbon profile

Czechia emits roughly 76 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.20% of global emissions, ranking #46 worldwide. At 7.0 tonnes per person (#24 per capita), its footprint is above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have fallen sharply over the past five years (-25%) and fallen sharply over the decade (-27%). The sustained downward trajectory suggests structural decarbonization rather than a one-off dip.

Renewables supply about 17% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

If the current pace holds, Czechia could cut another ~25% by 2030. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
